You know what they say about rain... it pours.
Our family feels like we're in a torrential downpour right now.
My aunt was diagnosed last week with an aggressive form of breast cancer. Her surgery is this Friday. Another family member was killed in a motorcycle accident Sunday. We missed Jacob's grandma's memorial service last Saturday. And now something else has happened. I'm not a fan of "unspoken prayer requests" really, but in this case, the situation isn't really blog material. But it is big, serious, and deeply troubling.
We're reeling...
We really want to be home with our families right now; but at the moment, that isn't in the cards.
We feel heavy. Tired. And sad.
But we're surrounded by a loving community, and they're carrying us through and lifting us up.
As you think of us, will you pray? That ocean between us is seeming mighty large right now.

To be so very far away in times of family need is so frustrating. I'm very sorry! It truly does seem it's all coming at once! Satan is alive and well,,, but HE is stronger!
Hugs from the East!

Prayers coming from the Caribbean --- sorry for your hurts!
How hard it is to praise Him in the storm sometimes ...
be strong when you can ... and when you don't feel like you can possibly take a minute more, remember to lean on Him for the strength you don't think you could ever find. He will provide it.
He will never leave you to face it alone.
We will pray for you both as you journey through these trials. We are so sorry for the hurt!
Our warmest,
Valerie & Jeff

Hi Carrie,
I'll be praying for you and Jacob and your families. I'm so sad to hear you are going through so much. I think it's very true what you said. It seems like either it's pouring or the skies are bright blue. Praying for bluer skies for you.
Love, Hayley
I am so, so sorry. We will definitely be praying for y'all.
Hugs and prayers to you!!
